History

In 1996, a year after the rock band Stone Metal Fire split up, two of its members—vocalist Pathompong "Pong" Sombatpiboon and guitarist Jakkarin "Pop" Daungmaneerattanachai, formed the Sun. [2] They were joined by Filipino drummer Selvester Lester C. Esteban and finally added bassist Phithak Srisang, who had played with Sombatpiboon in the Olarn Project.[ citation needed ]

The band released their self-titled debut album the same year they formed, through RS Promotion. They followed it with เสือ สิงห์ กระทิง แรด two years later. In 2000, the Sun issued their third studio album, ถนนพระอาทิตย์, this time on Bakery Music. [3]
